Using Wedge Design To Your Advantage
X-22 Tour

Callaway Staff Professional Since 2006 and the performance provided by 360º
Undercut Technology; the X-22 Tour irons
prove it. Key to ball striking is how the
club interacts with the turf and this set
treats each club individually with a sole
width progression that controls that turf
interaction for better contact with the ball.
The use of Precision Notch Weighting
acts to position more mass in the clubhead
to the perimeter for a higher moment of
inertia and greater overall stability. The
sleek design also features an eye-pleas-
ing top line and overall shape.
Ever had a short sided lob shot from the rough come off lower and go way past the hole?
Usually this is caused by the heel of the wedge getting caught by the rough, causing the toe to
close and reducing the loft required for this soft and delicate shot.
Well, we now have wedge design options that will help you hit this shot. Take for example,
Callaway’s X-Forged wedge with the C-Grind option. This grind, along with other advantages,
has reduced the bounce on the heel of the club. This promotes better turf interaction and will help

complete performance. The FT-9 is I-
MIX Compatible.
The Diablo uses all the things that made the Big Bertha driver one of the most
recognizable names in golf. It has maximum forgiveness, blistering ball speed,
great feel, and sound. What separates the Diablo from our previous all titanium
models are its edge technology which allows us to position the weight in the
optimal CG location. This resulted in 2 driver head shapes, draw & neutral,
and provides the golfer with a driver that will fit their desired swing type and
shot shape. The Diablo can be fit for any type of golfer and this driver also
comes with a wicked new attitude not seen before.
